Investment objective

The aim of the Fund is to provide a return (gross of charges) on investor's investment (generated through an increase in the value of the assets held by the Fund and/or income received from those assets) by tracking closely the performance of the ICE ESG Global Corporate Ex GBP Index (the “Benchmark Index”). In seeking to achieve its investment objective, the Fund will invest directly into the fixed income securities (i.e. bonds) in the Benchmark Index and at times invest indirectly via other fixed income-related investments (i.e. other investments whose value is related to debt) giving exposure to such fixed income securities, or in other fixed income securities not in the Index.

Important documents: Please ensure that you have read the Key Information Document/Technical Guide , Pre-sale Illustrations document & Doing Business with Fidelity document (incorporating the Fidelity Client Terms) and the fund information documents. These can be found within the Charges & documents section.

Our view

Why we like the fund: Although the fund can lend to higher risk companies, the bulk of its loans are to medium and lower-risk companies. This is an index tracking fund that invests globally and also excludes a number of industries on environmental, social and governance (ESG) concerns. BlackRock has shown good skill in being able to track corporate bond indices. The fund's costs are low. How to use the fund: For investors seeking an exposure to corporate bonds, and who have a long-term horizon and are cost-conscious, this fund represents a sensible choice on the riskier side of a portfolio. It should also offer a modest income.
